Love love love this sneak peek!  Carol looks so happy and Daryl’s light hearted teasing is so adorable.  He’s genuinely happy for her.  I can’t wait to see the full scene!

[addtothebeauty]

This glorification and elevation of N*gan makes TWD seem so incredibly out of touch with our present world. Like, I still would have hated him if our present climate was different, but it makes it feel like TWD is just another miserable place where I’m forced to endure an awful leader abusing his power while patting himself on the back and everyone who could do something looks the other way. (i.e. the writers)

And I think the reason why TWD’s writers and creators can’t denounce him is because they still think his version of masculinity and cruelty is admirable. There should be no, “you love him even though you hate him.” with this character. He should just be hated.

Melissa McBride is a real person. She plays Carol Peletier as a role. It’s her job, she is an actress. On a show about a zombie fucking apocalypse.

In light of recent rumors/spoilers/etc., I’ve seen an alarming amount of people tagging her on twitter in their rants and bitching over a fictional TV show. This is unacceptable and disturbing to begin with; but this woman just lost her mother. Why the hell would anyone think this petty shipping crap is important enough to flood her alerts? Grow the hell up. 

[meesha1971]

Are they 5?  Grow the hell up indeed.

Wedding Announcement!

Information has come to light from multiple sources that wedding bells will be ringing in season 9. Carol and Ezekiel are getting hitched! Now it’s not clear which exact episode this will occur or if we will even see the ceremony. It’s believed to be revealed in episode 6 or 7. There was also talk about a honeymoon possibly taking place. However, we are taking that part with a grain of salt since we cannot confirm that actually occurs.

Skybound seems to confirm this marriage info since they responded to one of their recent mailbag questions with this:

“Are Glenn and Maggie really the last couple to ever get married on the show?”

“Nope! Definitely not the last marriage/wedding we’ll see on the show.”

[meesha1971]

YES!!!!

[iiloulouii-deactivated20210819]

Hey you've said that you hate negan. I love him, and would like to hear why you hate him. Just to see someone else's point of view and opinions.

Hello!

I have many reasons for hating him I’ll do points. 😂

(Not necessarily in order of occurrence)

So here we go, my reasons for hating Negan -

* He murdered Glenn and Abraham in cold blood, in front of his entire family.

* He kidnapped Daryl, and gave the orders for his torture and tortured him himself, Daryl was already damaged enough and that very clearly messed him up. Also humiliated him.

* He gave the orders to kill Olivia, a innocent woman who never did anything wrong.

* He sits above his high horse and has the most disgusting self absorbed personality and cannot think for anyone but himself.

* He humiliated Carl by forcing him to remove his eye patch and forcing him to sing, (I don’t give a fucking shit that he apologised to him, he shouldn’t have done it in the first place)

* He made Sasha travel to Alexandria in a coffin.

* He taunted everybody after murdering Glenn and Abraham, waving the bat in Rosita’s face.

* He made Rick believe he would need to cut off his own sons arm.

* He Was going to murder Carl with Lucille and force Rick to watch before killing him.

* He Made crude comments about Maggie.

* He is a rapist. Though there are people who disagree with this, he is a rapist. His ‘wives’ cannot properly consent to having sex with him due to the position he puts them in, not giving them access to medicine or other needed supplies unless they slept with him. He forced Sherry to marry him in exchange for Dwight’s safety. This is not consent, he is a rapist.

* Made horrible offensive comments about Olivia’s weight and then offered to have sex with her as an apology.

* The many times he tried to kill Rick or others.

* Made crude sexual jokes towards Rick, such as “I just slid my dick down your throat and you thanked me for it.” This is disgusting and no matter the context, is sexual harassment.

* He is a massive fucking asshole.

* He called Daryl by horrible names.

* Upon seeing Daryl again after his escape he threatened to take him back again.

* He constantly makes dick related jokes which is just fucking irritating and unnecessary.

* He went into Judith’s bedroom, took her out of her cot and held her.

* He Held a gun to Daryl’s head.

* Is the reason behind many deaths, including Eric’s.

——

Here we go, this is what I can think of off the top of my head.

Disclaimer- * All and all, Negan is a great and well written Villian but that does not mean I or others will like him. * I fucking love Jeffery Dean Morgan, and none of my hate for Negan is shared with Jeffery or forced on him.

Negan is also a slaver. As in actual slavery. Some workers were under the illusion that if they worked for him he would protect them from walkers. “That was the deal” one cried out during the siege at the start of season 8.

However, we know this is only an illusion because Negan only ever saw the other people beneath him as his property. He said as much multiple times. His soldiers said as much multiple times.

We see the proof of this in every instance of anyone trying to get out from under his thumb. Either you come back and get punished, or you die. In regards to groups, it’s usually both some sort of punishment (generally mutilation) and the death of someone.

There was no escape with Negan. Once he knew about a person, they were his property or they were dead.

It was always about thier value as an asset, never as a person. Any overtures he made to appeal to someone was just manipulating them into giving him what he wanted: their servitude with a side of unearned gratitude so he could feel better about himself and stoke his ego.

As an aside about another misconception many of his stans have: Team Family did not start things up with Negan and ‘strike the first blow’ causing all this to happen.

Negan started it when he enslaved the Hilltop.

The Hilltop hired Team Family to help them get rid of Negan as they became increasingly desperate for supplies and to hold on to what little they had under Negan’s half of everything policy that was draining them dry and making them turn on each other. Team Family happened upon a situation that both they and The Hilltop underestimated, but they did not strike the first blow.

Moreover, Negan’s men were already eyeing them for takeover. They wouldn’t gave been able to find Team Family so fast after the hit if they didn’t already have scouts in the area assessing them. The hit probably moved their timetable up, but Negan and the saviors are like locusts: they drain places they land dry of everything and move on once the area isn’t providing enough to sustain them. The half of everything deal wasn’t sustainable. They had to keep poaching other communities to maintain their desired levels and half the time they wasted the resources just because they could (I.e. burned mattresses) rather than use them.

[iiloulouii-deactivated20210819]

Yes exactly, another great point.

[meesha1971]

Exactly!  Negan is a liar and a hypocrite.  He deludes himself that he’s “saving” people, but the only thing he’s saving anyone from is himself.  Not killing people because he preferred to enslave them and take what they risked their lives and worked for - all the while taunting them about the friends and family he did kill and/or publicly humiliating them - just to stoke his ego does not make Negan a “savior” or a good leader.  It just makes him a manipulative asshole.

TWD SPOILERS CONTAINED. SHIP RELATED.

UPDATE #4 6/18/18: We have now corroborated with multiple sources that Carol and Ezekiel will develop a romance. We were told that something happens in episode 9.1 that makes a romance between the two apparent. However, we do not know the actual status of this relationship. We don’t know if they are already an established couple at this point or if they are on their way to becoming canon in this episode. All we have right now are multiple reliable sources indicating that these two will be getting together.  ~Posted by The Spoiling Dead Fans.

Carzekiel is a canon ship now bitches!!!

[ashekeh]

I just want to throw my own opinion out there on this whole who’s right argument.

Personally, I am 100% behind Maggie, Daryl and Jesus. 

They’re not going to be the ‘new villains’ and none of them would ever dream of hurting their family, least of all Rick and Michonne, so I don’t understand why people are comparing Maggie to the Governor and acting like she’s ready to kill anybody who gets in her way of ending Negan. Negan isn’t going anywhere for now, so they can hang back and prepare properly as Maggie clearly stated in her speech to the two men. 

I’ve also seen people using Glenn as a reason why Maggie should respect Rick’s wishes. ‘Glenn was a pacifist and would want Maggie to let Negan live’ etc. WRONG. Do none of you remember how Glenn reacted when he believed the Governor had assaulted Maggie in Woodbury. He lost his god damn mind and tried to go against Rick to try and kill him! He never once tried to save his life and Maggie was still breathing and relatively unharmed at the end of all that. He also went and killed Saviours in their sleep at the outpost in a bid to beat Negan. Even though he might not have enjoyed it, he thought it was the best way to save his family and he assumed Negan would be there, so he was ready to kill him. This was all before Abraham, Sasha, Denise, Dr Carson and how many others died after that. Glenn liked to save people and he wouldn’t have wanted to kill the Saviours or the workers, but don’t tell me he would have just allowed Negan to carry on living. If Maggie was the one to get the bat, Glenn would have done everything in his power to kill him, NO QUESTION. 

Rick is grieving Carl and wants to honour him, fair enough, but it wasn’t his call to make. Michonne will obviously back him up as she too read Carl’s letters, but she wasn’t right to do what she did either. Too many people have lost because of Negan and he deserves to die for it. Also, Carl wanted Negan to be a part of the new world as shown in his vision/dream, but Negan will rot in a jail cell to set an example, so that’s hardly what Carl wanted. 

People are confused as to why Daryl is involved too. REALLY? Daryl is severely traumatised after being held captive by Negan, in case you’ve blocked that entire storyline out? He was beaten and humiliated and psychologically tortured! He was abused as a child too, which must have come screaming back to the surface during his time there. He watched several friends and family members brutally die on top of all that, along with the added guilt of seeing Maggie suffer every day. He might have been able to let Dwight go, as he managed to redeem himself a little, but Negan ruined parts of him that will never be fixed. Also, don’t forget that Daryl gave up on finding the Governor back at the prison and when he came back he ruined their lives, killing Hershel and separating him from his family. Negan will always be a threat in Daryl’s eyes, as long as he’s drawing breath, so he knows he has to at least try and finish it.

Finally, Jesus being involved isn’t a surprise either. Yes, he tried to save Saviours who gave up, and yes he hasn’t endured what Daryl and Maggie have, but he was still tormented by Negan and the Hilltop lost people because of him and his direct actions. Jesus is loyal to Maggie, but he has his own mind and would definitely object if he didn’t believe in what she was doing, just like he did with the captured Saviours. Also, he’s seen what effect he’s had on the other communities. The Kingdom residents slaughtered, Alexandria burned down, people from all communities poisoned with walker tainted weapons and left to turn and kill others. At the end of the day though, Jesus doesn’t have to have some tragic story to know that Negan is bad and should be dead. It’s as simple as that.

Negan: i was trying to save you by killing glenn and your loved ones ya know :/ if you had just let me rule your community and loved ones with an iron fist, and let me torture daryl and let me make more crude “dick down your throat” comments to you and exploit you and your son, and other communities carl wouldnt have died. :/ im the answer,i save people, me, the guy who had ocean sides men and young male children executed.

Me watching this go down while fangirls gush over him:

[k1m-bail3y]

Same, honestly. Negan needs to die.

[desus-trash]

OMG SAME it’s soooo gross

[cyn-xo-deactivated20200723]

I’m far from a rape apologist lmfao. (For those who won’t see the previous tags, that’s where I got that first bit from.) And I’m entitled to gush about whatever character I chose to. It’s FICTION. It hold no correlation to who I am as a person. Just who exactly are you to judge somebody like that anyway? Get over yourself, seriously.

[desus-trash]

Seriously WHY are you reblogging from me right now? The obsession some have with Negan is extremely uncomfortable given what kind of character he is. That’s what the OP is about. And don’t even get me started on the amount of people, mostly women, who excuse Negan being a serial rapist. Or even worse- celebrating it. It’s fucking disgusting. And for some- it’s very triggering (not me personally). If you wanna actually have a conversation, feel free to DM me.

[meesha1971]

Negan should die in all the fires.  So tired of the stans trying to whitewash Negan murdering, torturing, and raping people.  It’s not just gross.  It’s extremely disturbing that there are people out there who try to make excuses for it.  It’s possible appreciate a well written villain and still accept that he is a villain who does terrible things.  Not that Negan is a well written villain, but it’s possible.
